Lil bit of pure veggie oil has a higher BTU content. In the milenium falcon it sure feels better (Cut one gallon to 15)

Question question

just curious here, but what exactly would 60 cetane fuel do for you? At 10 bucks a gallon, it better make a noticeable difference!

Cetane number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a good article on Cetane and what it means to Diesel Engines

thanks smartypants!

I know what cetane is. What I asked was what advantage specifically, would 60 cetane fuel give over #2? Especially since the article you provided the link to, says that there is no advantage towards running cetane numbers higher than 55!
